You know, when I talk to people that what is the picture of Canada in their heart and mind, there are few things resonant in the whole country. Canadians are in love with nature, parks and great outdoors. There are a plethora of interesting things they love about this country such as playing, camping, hiking, and swimming with friends and family.” Those are the words of Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.
Being able to talk about outdoor activities’ words in French Quebec is immensely practical, and lots of fun. Have a look at them.
